Julius Vorster

Julius Vorster (29 April 1809, Hamm – 10 October 1876, Cologne) was a German entrepreneur, one of the founders of Chemische Fabrik Kalk, a major German chemical enterprise in Cologne.

Life

Vorster opened a thriving chemical business after a commercial apprenticeship in Cologne. After accepting a partnership with Harhaus, the business was renamed Vorster and Harhaus. On 1 November 1858 Vorster and chemist Hermann Julius Grüneberg, who was a doctoral student at that time, founded Chemische Fabrik Kalk. [1] The successful company expanded under the leadership of Vorster's sons Julius Vorster Jr. and Fritz Vorster, and Hermann Grüneberg's son Richard Grüneberg.

Vorster married Wilhelmine Röhrig and they had several children. He was the founder of the Evangelical hospital in Cologne. He is buried on the Melaten-Friedhof. [1]

gollark: I thought about that, but:- strings in a binary format will be about the same length- integers will have some space saving, but I don't think it's very significant- it would, in a custom one, be harder to represent complex objects and stuff, which some extensions may be use- you could get some savings by removing strings like "title" which XTMF repeats a lot, but at the cost of it no longer being self-describing, making extensions harder and making debugging more annoying- I am not convinced that metadata size is a significant issue
gollark: I mean, "XTMF with CBOR/msgpack and compression" was being considered as a hypothetical "XTMF2", but I'd definitely want something, well, self-describing.
gollark: Also also, why a binary format?
gollark: Also, XTMF can do runtime update, you just need to allocate, say, 4KB at the start of the tape, and write metadata to that. The offsets might be fiddly, though.
gollark: You should probably not do that.
